  • 1.  Difference of Attribute Functions

    Posted Mon May 25, 2020 01:15 AM
    Hi, I am playing with all sorts of different attribute functions and I am lost. Could anyone share what you have found? Thanks.

    ATTRPUTS vs ELEMENTATTRPUTS ???

    ATTRPUTS vs HIERARCHYATTRPUTS ???

    ELEMENTATTRPUTS vs HIERARCHYATTRPUTS ???

    It is so confusing as ATTRPUTS can use "dim:hier" format to specify a hierarchy.

    Hi,
    ATTRPUTS is the original function before IBM added hierarchies.   ElementATTRPutS is the new function that specifically adds hierarchy as a separate parameter, but is otherwise the same.  They also added the "dim:hier" so that the original functions would work with other hierarchies.

    HierarchyAttrPutS is a different function.  This function renames the attribute based on which hierarchy you are using.  So an attribute in your original hierarchy might be "Location" but in a different hierarchy if could be called "Store".  This allows attributes to be renamed to fit how a particular hierarchy is used or for display purposes if the attribute is displayed as part of a view in PAW.
